Fedia seems to be having federation issues too, like kbin.social.

Which is very unfortunate, makes it hard to recommend or use kbin at all.

@Generator
As a side note, kbin.social isn’t really able to federate in or out due to needing DDOS protections right now.

Somewhat related, are comments Federated?

I only see my comment at - https://fedia.io/m/cats@midwest.social/t/4348/My-first-Lemmy-post-Maleficent
At the source, I see two other comments, but not mine - https://midwest.social/post/651485

i have noticed this too some communities just don't show up at all

What do you see when you try? I find meta@lemmy.pt in the search here

@Generator
Hmm. That’s interesting. From my Kbin instance I can search and find that community ok. Fedia was having issues earlier so maybe it’s something related to that?
